Affiliate Disclosure

How we earn revenue and how this may affect our reviews.

Bottom Line: BestHostWays.com is supported by our readers. When you click on our links and purchase hosting, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our reviews or ratings. Our recommendations are based on thorough, hands-on testing.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for websites to earn money by promoting products or services. When you click a special tracking link on our site and make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the hosting company.

This is a common practice across the internet and helps us keep the site running, pay for testing infrastructure, and continue providing free, unbiased reviews.

How We Earn Revenue

BestHostWays participates in affiliate programs with web hosting companies. Here's how it works:

  • Tracking Links: We use special affiliate links that contain a unique identifier for our site
  • Commission Tracking: When you click an affiliate link and sign up for hosting, the company tracks that you came from our site
  • No Extra Cost: The commission comes from the hosting company's marketing budget, not from your purchase price
  • No Impact on Price: You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the hosting site

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. Here's our commitment to you:

We Test Independently

We purchase hosting plans with our own money and test them in real-world conditions. We do not accept free hosting accounts, discounted rates, or any special treatment from hosting providers.

We Rate Objectively

Our ratings are based on measurable criteria including:

  • Uptime reliability (we monitor 24/7)
  • Page load speed
  • Customer support responsiveness
  • Features vs. price value
  • User reviews and experiences

We Disclose Everything

Every review page on our site contains a clear disclosure statement. Every comparison table with affiliate links is labeled. Every "best" recommendation includes the reasoning behind it.

We Update Regularly

We revisit each review at least once per year, or sooner when a hosting provider makes significant changes. If a previously-recommended host drops in quality, we update our recommendation accordingly.
